Las características de la invención y las ventajas que se derivan de la misma quedarán más evidentes en la siguiente descripción de realizaciones no limitativas, mostradas en los dibujos adjuntos, en los cuales:The characteristics of the invention and the advantages that derive from it will be more evident in the following description of non-limiting embodiments, shown in the attached drawings, in which:
Las figuras 1, 2 y 3 muestran una realización simplificada del aparato con cinta según la presente invención.Figures 1, 2 and 3 show an embodiment Simplified apparatus with tape according to the present invention.
Las figuras 1 a 3 muestran un aparato con una cinta, según la presente invención, particularmente pero no exclusivamente adecuado para su utilización en combinación con una cinta simple (16). Esta cinta está específicamente formada por una cinta laminar de plástico extensible, del tipo utilizado para envolventes de artículos alimenticios. La anchura de dicha cinta (16) deber ser como mínimo igual al diámetro de las aberturas a cerrar en forma estanca (21), más la anchura de dos márgenes, teniendo suficiente anchura para posibilitar, tal como se apreciará a continuación, la sujeción fácil por el aparato adecuado para la aplicación (figura 2). Estos márgenes posibilitarán que el material plástico que se utiliza sea estirado suficientemente antes de su rotura, por lo tanto antes de la separación de la parte de cinta aplicada sobre la abertura del contenedor.Figures 1 to 3 show an apparatus with a tape, according to the present invention, particularly but not exclusively suitable for use in combination with a simple tape (16). This tape is specifically formed by a extendable plastic laminar tape, of the type used for envelopes of food items. The width of said tape (16) must be at least equal to the diameter of the openings a close tightly (21), plus the width of two margins, having enough width to enable, as will be appreciated then the easy grip by the right device for application (figure 2). These margins will allow the material plastic that is used is stretched sufficiently before its breakage, therefore before the separation of the tape part applied over the opening of the container.
El espesor de la película que forma la cinta (16) plastomérica extensible depende generalmente del tipo de abertura (21) a ser precintada, de los requerimientos del precintado, de la temperatura ambiente y de la temperatura de los recipientes, del diámetro de las aberturas (21) de los mencionados recipientes y de la velocidad, es decir del tiempo de ciclo, del precintado. Adicionalmente, la calidad del plastómero extensible también influye en los parámetros mencionados con anterioridad, y por lo tanto en la elección del espesor de la película.The thickness of the film that forms the tape (16) Extensible plastomer generally depends on the type of opening (21) to be sealed, of the requirements of the sealing, of the ambient temperature and the temperature of the containers, of the diameter of the openings (21) of said containers and of the speed, that is to say of the cycle time, of the sealing. Additionally, the quality of the extensible plastomer also influences in the parameters mentioned above, and therefore in the film thickness choice.
Además, con el fin de obtener una mejor separación de la membrana adherida a la abertura (21) del recipiente (15) precintado, la cinta (16) plastomérica extensible puede estar dotada de sucesiones de orificios o microorificios, cuyos orificios o microorificios están dispuestos a lo largo de líneas cerradas, siendo concéntricas con respecto a las aberturas (21) de los recipientes (15) a ser precintados.Also, in order to get a better separation of the membrane adhered to the opening (21) of the container (15) sealed, the extensible plastomeric tape (16) may be equipped with successions of holes or micro-holes, whose holes or micro holes are arranged along closed lines, being concentric with respect to the openings (21) of the containers (15) to be sealed.
Las mencionadas líneas cerradas circulares de orificios tienen un diámetro mayor que el diámetro de las aberturas (21) de los recipientes (15) a ser precintados.The aforementioned circular closed lines of holes have a diameter greater than the diameter of the openings (21) of the containers (15) to be sealed.
Las mencionadas sucesiones de orificios o microorificios también pueden estar ventajosamente reemplazadas por cualquier debilitamiento apropiado de la membrana, tales como por eliminación de material, a través de todo el espesor de la membrana o no, en forma de pequeños cortes, o incluso de ranuras anulares, por tanto por un simple adelgazamiento de la membrana.The mentioned successions of holes or micro holes can also be advantageously replaced by any appropriate weakening of the membrane, such as by material removal, across the entire thickness of the membrane or not, in the form of small cuts, or even annular grooves, therefore by a simple thinning of the membrane.
Con el fin de permitir que la membrana se desgarre por los sitios predeterminados, una vez aplicada en la abertura (21) a ser precintada, sin excesiva elongación del material plástico, esta cinta (16) está dotada de unas sucesiones de orificios o microorificios, o con unas zonas de debilitamiento equivalentes, en la forma de cualquier eliminación adecuada de material, o incluso con ranuras, obtenidas mediante el prensado de las matrices adecuadas en la misma, a lo largo de líneas cerradas, siendo concéntricas con respecto a las aberturas (21) de los recipientes (15) alimentados para ser precintados, y con respecto a los orificios (51), formados en las superficies planas (150) del cabezal de aplicación (50) del aparato apto para la aplicación de cintas (1), (16), tal como será evidente a partir de la siguiente descripción del mencionado aparato, y teniendo unos diámetros iguales o menores que el diámetro de los mencionados orificios (51), pero mayores que el diámetro de las aberturas (21) de las botellas (15) o recipientes similares a ser precintados.In order to allow the membrane to tear through the predetermined sites, once applied in the opening (21) to be sealed, without excessive elongation of the material plastic, this tape (16) is equipped with successions of holes or micro holes, or with weakening zones equivalents, in the form of any adequate disposal of material, or even with grooves, obtained by pressing the appropriate matrices in it, along closed lines, being concentric with respect to the openings (21) of the containers (15) fed to be sealed, and with respect to the holes (51), formed on the flat surfaces (150) of the application head (50) of the device suitable for the application of tapes (1), (16), as will be apparent from the following description of said apparatus, and having diameters equal to or less than the diameter of said holes (51), but larger than the diameter of the openings (21) of the bottles (15) or similar containers to be sealed.
Haciendo referencia a las figuras 1 a 3, el aparato está dotado de un cabezal aplicador (50), que tiene como mínimo una superficie plana, con una ranura (51) que tiene una profundidad predeterminada.

El método de precintado con las cintas (16) y con el aparato para la aplicación en serie de las mismas, que forman el objetivo de la presente invención, hace uso de un sistema de alimentación de recipientes, principalmente pero no exclusivamente del tipo cinta transportadora. Este sistema puede ser ventajosamente uno de los sistemas actualmente en uso en un equipo ya existente, que se está usando para el llenado de botellas u otros recipientes, para cerrarlos con tapones, por ejemplo cápsulas, u otros tipos de tapones, así como para el etiquetado de las botellas o recipientes. En este caso, el equipo existente generalmente está dotado de cintas transportadoras combinadas con mecanismos para la aplicación de diversos tapones o cápsulas, en un movimiento cíclico.The sealing method with the tapes (16) and with the apparatus for the serial application thereof, which form the objective of the present invention, makes use of a system of container feeding, mainly but not exclusively of the conveyor belt type. This system can be advantageously one of the systems currently in use on existing equipment, which is being used for filling bottles or other containers, to close them with caps, for example capsules, or other types of caps, as well as for the labeling of bottles or containers. In this case, the existing equipment is usually equipped with tapes conveyors combined with mechanisms for the application of various caps or capsules, in a cyclic movement.
Ventajosamente, el aparato para la aplicación en serie de precintos según la invención puede incorporarse en el mencionado equipo, haciendo uso del sistema transportador de recipientes, tanto como, si es posible, de los mecanismos que impulsan las unidades operativas para la aplicación de tapones, que pueden usarse para impulsar el aparato descrito con anterioridad.Advantageously, the apparatus for application in series of seals according to the invention can be incorporated in the mentioned equipment, using the conveyor system of containers, as much as, if possible, of the mechanisms that drive operational units for the application of plugs, which can be used to drive the apparatus described with anteriority.
Por tanto, el sistema de alimentación del mencionado equipo puede tener uno o más aparatos para la aplicación de la cinta (16) según la invención, combinados con el mismo, en lugar de los elementos usuales para la aplicación de los tradicionales tapones o cápsulas. El aparato, impulsado apropiadamente, aplicará las membranas de la cinta (16) en las aberturas (21) de los recipientes (15), que son alimentados secuencialmente en intervalos síncronos, bajo el aparato.Therefore, the power system of the mentioned equipment may have one or more devices for the application of the belt (16) according to the invention, combined therewith, in place of the usual elements for the application of Traditional caps or capsules. The device, driven appropriately, apply the membranes of the tape (16) in the openings (21) of the containers (15), which are fed sequentially in synchronous intervals, under the apparatus.
Más en detalle, la aplicación de las mencionadas membranas de precintado se ejecuta tal como sigue:More in detail, the application of those mentioned Sealing membranes runs as follows:
La cinta (16), disponible en rollos, es desenrollada y alimentada apropiadamente con movimientos discretos, es decir a pasos, cubriendo cada uno una distancia correspondiente a la que hay entre dos líneas cerradas de debilitamiento adyacentes. Estos avances discretos están seguidos de unas paradas sincronizadas. Cualquier accionador mecánico apropiado, controlado apropiadamente, incluso por las marcas en la cinta (16), alimenta las líneas cerradas (23) de debilitamiento, concéntricamente con respecto a los orificios (51) de las superficies planas.The tape (16), available in rolls, is unrolled and fed properly with discrete movements, that is, in steps, each covering a distance corresponding to the one between two closed adjacent weakening lines. These discrete advances are followed by a few stops synchronized. Any appropriate, controlled mechanical actuator properly, even by the marks on the tape (16), it feeds the closed lines (23) of weakening, concentrically with with respect to the holes (51) of the flat surfaces.
Cuando la cinta (16) se interrumpe, el aparato presionará la membrana de estanqueidad estirada a la abertura (21) de los contenedores (15) para su cierre estanco. Al continuar este movimiento, la membrana de estanqueización establecerá contacto, en primer lugar, con el borde de la abertura (21). Al avanzar el movimiento, la membrana será estirada y se adherirá firmemente al borde, hasta que la intensidad de la fuerza aplicada provoque que la membrana se rompa a lo largo de una línea cerrada alrededor o cerca del borde de la abertura (21).When the tape (16) is interrupted, the apparatus press the sealing membrane stretched to the opening (21) of the containers (15) for sealing. By continuing this movement, the sealing membrane will establish contact, in first, with the edge of the opening (21). When advancing the movement, the membrane will be stretched and will adhere firmly to the edge, until the intensity of the force applied causes the membrane breaks along a closed line around or near from the edge of the opening (21).
Dicho efecto de rotura puede ser asistido o localizado, tal como se ha mencionado anteriormente, por sucesiones anulares de orificios o microorificios u otras áreas de debilitamiento.Said breaking effect can be assisted or located, as mentioned above, by successions annular holes or micro holes or other areas of weakening
Una vez que la membrana ha sido aplicada y sometida a rotura, el cabezal del aparato se desplazará nuevamente hacia arriba, en dirección opuesta.Once the membrane has been applied and subject to breakage, the head of the device will move again up, in the opposite direction.
